The Seagull is a collaboration between actor/writer Katherine Tozer and composer John Chambers whose versions of Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard and Ivanov were premiered on 主播大秀 Radio 3 in 2018 and in September 2024 respectively. They also work together for PALIMPSEST, the innovative multi-media theatre company.
Chekhov's theatre play was written in 1895, and is regarded as one of his four major works for the stage, despite a famously disastrous first production in St Petersburg. Two years later it was revived by the ground breaking Moscow Art Theatre where it was greeted with unanimous acclaim.
